Sometime you just have to try. you might need a y-block and they run a good $3000 or more. For 350’, maybe you could notch the conduit and screw the line blower in. But then you might get some thread marks on your cable. Jon Langeler Michwave Technologies, Inc. > On Sep 18, 2018, at 11:41

We have the GMP line blowing kit that Jon posted - works great. On Tue, Sep 18, 2018 at 9:31 PM, Jon Langeler wrote: > A couple options: > > https://www.condux.com/products.php?id=170 > > https://craftworktools.com/89815.html > > Jon Langeler > Michwave Technologies, Inc. > > > On Sep 18, 2018,

Where can I source fittings to blow a pull string through? I'm going to rent a compressor from Sunbelt, but I'm guessing I'm going to have to bring my own hardware to attach to the conduit. The wire pulling lube did not do the job, so I'm going to try and power through it with a decent amount of

I tried a vacuum myself here and there. It doesn't solve this problem IME. Lube just always makes it easier. I used the Ideal stuff on 2" and 6 months later I didn't see anything weird. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Sun, Sep

I would second the try blowing and vacuum a small pull string then pull through some mule tape. The problem with the rod is it tends to kink after a long distance and can get tangled in the current cable. A pull string attached to a plastic bag tends to ride on top. Also give the existing

Polywater was the best we ever found. I also would try that and blowing or vacuuming instead of a rod. On Sun, Sep 16, 2018, 8:32 PM Tim Withrow via AF wrote: > > You should be able to source pulling lube from an electrical supplier. 20+ > bucks a gallon gets expensive fast with the ideal

You should be able to source pulling lube from an electrical supplier. 20+ bucks a gallon gets expensive fast with the ideal lube,if a small job it may be all you need, but this seems not the case. On Sunday, September 16, 2018 Jason McKemie wrote: I have about 350' of 2" conduit that
